7,000 new rolls of vintage wallpapers — so pretty! — so happy! — at Hannah’s Treasures

I have been truly monomaniacal re wallpaper lately, as I search to find the perfect pattern for the main ceilings in my Mahalo Lounge. Yes: Thank you, dear readers, for alerting me: The open weave jute is indeed stinky, so ix-nay on that, pooh. During my obsessive searching for a new or vintage wallpaper alternative, I saw that Hannah’s Treasures had lots of rolls — turns out, 7,000 rolls of vintage wallpaper from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s added this year — just loaded on to their website. Owner Marilyn gave me the back story, along with permission to share some of the delicious patterns. I’m gonna make this “Wallpaper Week” on the blog. Let’s start with a look at some of the 1940s and 1950s kitchen wallpapers — which are amazing.

I have purchased three large loads of wallpaper this year. In February I went to California and brought back nearly 4000 rolls of 1920’s-1940’s wallpaper. We just finished adding the rest of it to the website today [late August].

I love these wallpapers! Every March my Grandmother and I would go to a little paint and wallpaper shop and get the latest paper for her house. Then for some unknown reason, in the hottest part of the summer, she and my mother would steam off the old paper, with a Kirby vacuum cleaner, steamer attachment in use. Of course NO air conditioning, and they would work all day until the new paper was hung. I do miss those days of having my Grandmother around. She was one talented lady and someone I miss terribly.

Just catching up on reading after spending time clearing a lot from 60 years in a house built in 1900 and remodeled throughout the years. I wasn’t sure what to do with a roll and (a half?) of wallpaper likely used in the 70’s.
